<<<My bad, yes 2 plugs. One pink, one black.>>> No, you're fine, the web site declines to tell anyone about the connections. I know, I looked. I keep getting drawn into the system I designed for one of the conference rooms at work. It came in about $200USD. Four cheap (self-powered) Radio Shack micr...

<<<4ms of latency which I would prefer to be 0ms.>>> Many people have that opinion. <<<It comes with ASIO drivers >>> To get rid of the latency, yes. But Audacity doesn't support ASIO, so the best you can do is configure the system for whatever drivers Windows has. I suspect that's what's happening ...

<<<I'm hard-pressed to find the problem.>>> Because you may have more than one. Go into Audacity Preferences and leave "Play Tracks while Recording New Ones" checked, but deselect both Hardware Playthrough and Software Playthrough. Restart Audacity. Open Windows Control Panels and make sur...

<<<Why can't I get the Windows machine to offer up all 16 tracks available in the drop down box like I could in the OSX machine?>>> OS-X is a linux/UNIX based operating system and doesn't work anything like Windows. The conditions you have now are normal. Audacity doesn't support ASIO drivers and th...
